"These works were inspired by Valerie Steele's nook ‘Not A Toy: Fashioning Radical Characters’, which explores the growing influence of Character design in fashion and art. Characters are reduced and abstract figures with a strong anthropomorphic appeal and bold graphical silhouette.

"Here, I enjoyed painting a figure totally camouflaged, masqueraded in graphic lines, a pattern I had not explored before." — Hannah Tilson
